KSG ARTISTRY - A DECADE OF BRIDAL BEAUTY EXPERIENCE

Kristen has spent 19 years behind the chair and over a decade specializing in bridal beauty, serving hundreds of women with soft-glam makeup. What began as Meraki Brides - a team-based bridal company built on empowerment, connection and creativity - has now evolved into KSG Artistry. Kristen’s refined solo brand rooted in intention, experience, and elevated beauty.

After years of leading a team and running Meraki Studio, Kristen felt called to step into a new chapter - one with more creativity, deeper connection with her brides and space to pour back into her artistry. KSG Artistry reflects the shift. It’s personal, high-touch and crafted for brides who want to feel confident, radiant, and authentically themselves on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

Beyond the brush, Kristen is a wife to her incredibly supportive husband, Matthew and mama to their beautiful daughter, Sutton. They also share life with two beloved fur babies - the original “first children”. Her heart lives in serving women, celebrating love stories and creating calm, joyful wedding morning experience that brides remember long after the last dance.

THE KSG DIFFERENCE

KSG Artistry specializes in soft, elevated bridal glam that photograph’s beautifully and lasts all day. Kristen’s commitment to continuous education keeps her artistry refined, modern and ahead of the trend curve.

She has trained with leading artists across the Midwest, including Holly of Till Death Do We Art, Elizabeth Wolf, Noelle of The Artist Edit and continues to travel to cities like Chicago and Nashville to study advanced bridal techniques.

Each look is crafted with intention, skill and an eye for timeless beauty.
